Here are a few of the stories making headlines in the sports world, starting with Notre Dame's quest to remain undefeated and land a spot in the BCS title game on Jan. 7 in Miami:

Headline:Notre Dame has easiest road to BCS title gameByline: John Feinstein, The Washington PostExcerpt: The easiest remaining road belongs to Notre Dame. The Irish play a truly
terrible Boston College team and a mediocre Wake Forest team before
closing at USC. The Trojans will have little to play for in that game —
pride hasn’t been a great motivator for them — and, if the game is
close, someone will miss a field goal or Rudy will make a tackle.

Headline:TCU, Patterson shift focus to No. 2 Kansas StateByline: Stefan Stephenson, Fort Worth Star-TelegramExcerpt: The Wildcats' Heisman Trophy candidate, quarterback Collin Klein, was
injured in KSU's 44-30 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, and his
official status for this Saturday likely will remain a mystery with the
famously tight-lipped Bill Snyder.

Headline:Jerry Jones locked out of Cowboys' locker roomByline: Marc Sessler, NFL.comExcerpt: It wasn't intentional, but the Dallas Cowboys' owner was locked out of his team's locker room following the game. Matt
Barrie of NBC 5 in Dallas witnessed Jones pounding on the door. "It's the angriest I've seen him all year," Barre wrote.
